The main contributor of information to this site is Hope Byrne (nee Bulfin). Hope has done extensive research and has spent years and years and thousands and thousands of dollars to leave this information she collected along the way. Hope is an inspiration to many for her tireless effort to trace her family origins. Hope not only did much research in Australia but travelled extensively through America and Ireland meeting with relatives and visiting sites and research centres. Hope had the company of her sister Dawn Bulfin on her many travels and together they met a great many of their ancestors. Hope would like to give thanks to everyone who contributed to her research over the years, because without the help of family there would be little to leave for the generations that come behind us. Hope also acknowledges here the support of her husband Banjo(Edward)Byrne for his support throughout her years of research.
